#i love seeing other people's jars | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

hello ! i actually wanted to come on here to address something that i’ve seen a lot during my 3 years on tumblr & is actually the reason i left one of my previous blogs. as someone who is probably one of the heavier selfship blogs, i think people (readers & writers) have to realise that just because you talk about your favourite character or selfship more than someone else might — that doesn’t make that character any more yours than it does theirs.

as a bigger blog, this is unfortunately a narrative that i’ve had the displeasure of seeing because again, my selfship is pretty heavy in my posts / layouts / writing. people have to realise that not only do people have their own versions of these characters that they selfship with but also, these character aren’t real. you can’t own a fictional character and if you truly believe that’s possible just because someone may have more followers or speak / write more about them than others, then i really do recommend seeking out more irl relationships instead of the parasocial ones you seem to have grown so toxically attached to.

i understand people gatekeep and that’s a completely different issue entirely but my problem is with people taking it upon themselves to push their way into a writers safe space on someone else’s behalf because “__ spoke about nagi first & now you’re copying them.” “__ belongs to __ you can’t talk about them.” knowing fine well that it’s only going to bring unease and simply ruin someone’s fun especially when a lot of people selfship for comfort reasons.

you can enjoy and support someone’s selfship without having to ruin someone else’s.

i don’t want to drag on because i really don’t care much for discourse on my blog but all i want to stress is that if you’re gatekeeping someone else’s selfship, odds are you’re ruining it. i’m in my 20’s and if you truly think i’m going to have issues with someone because they like the same character as me i can assure you that’s not the case — you’re not ‘stepping on toes’ because your mutual likes that character too, they’re probably happy to see someone else talking / posting about their favourite.

i promise you’re not going to die if you let people enjoy themselves.

#ʚ・◞📎 — em entry.#i LOVE talking about my selfship w people but i also love talking about others peoples also !#even if it’s the same character I LOVE IT !#also it can be so jarring to see ur selfship pushed onto another blog when it’s for my blog only !

buddie would be the most domestic, adorable, seems-like-theyre -already-married, couple ever.

we know this.

but i also want buck being treated well by people he hasnt known for a long time and hasnt had time to build a relationship with yknow?

he'd expect to be treated well by eddie because theyve been best friends (and coparents) for years

but hes always made himself smaller in every other relationship, and waited for them to leave him, never felt secure or even particularly cared for, because he never feels good enough.

what im saying is, is that i need tommy to sweep this man off his feet, cuddle him, take him on nice dates, make him laugh and show him what its like to be cared for and cherished because he deserves it, and because he is Enough, and just show him what a relationship should be because i dont think he knows dlrhsirjfieidi

#i feel like thats needed #which is why im loving tommy calling him evan #because hes built buck as a safe space where he can pretend hes fine and stromg and untouchable #but evan never felt safe or cared for #plus other than eddie calling him that once its only been maddie who knew him before and after he stopped seeing himself as evan #and she always saw him and took care of him and loved him anyway #the other people who called him evan are his parents which are the reason he hates the name tbh #it was jarring at first to see tommy calling him evan but honestly it makes sense #because buck has neglected evan for a long time by hiding behind buck #hes realised being buck is enough so now its time for evan to be enough #also i want tommy to love this man please #i also want buddie but i want buck being in a kind relationship with no pressure first #because there will be a lot of adjustment and change for them both if buddie goes canon #let him be safe and queer and loved please and thankyou #also tommy is great and i want him to stay pleasseeeeee #evan buck buckley #tommy kinard #bucktommy

Recent-ish life pictures and etc.

#image commentary in tags once again since they don't allow captions anymore and I feel weird using the alt text for that --#1. bright very poofy cloud sky #2. saw these weird bugs on a sidewalk that were clustered in a pile and some of them were sitting butt to butt or something.. I wonder if #that's how they mate?? or maybe just some sortof strange bug fight or something.. interesting little creature party happening #out on the pavement on that day #3. Its kind of hard to see but on the inside of this watermelon there is a slightly lighter formation that sort of looks like a heart shape #4. special breakfast of scrambled eggs. soy sausages. and jarred artichoke heart. with some black coffee and whipped cream + a strawberry #5. ARBY.. fish ...traditional summer treat available only until like september maybe for like a month. but I love them because theyre cheap #lol.. the next closest/cheapest fried fish sort of option that is easily acessible to me is a more upscale fast food place where you can ge #three tiny little chunks of fish maybe the palm of your hand sized for about $17 lol... so 4 arby fried fish chunks for like $5 is good #6. & 7 - very cool sunset colored sort of pink/yellow/orange flower I found growing wild in someone's yard #8. got as a gift from someone who got it for christmas but didn't really want it and asked if I did since everyone knows Im like The Person #Who's Obsessed With Cats out of any group of people.. but I still havent done it lol.. it just sits there gathering dust until I have #the time on top of my 600 other projects. I think it's cool that it's gray so it does look like noodle (my cat)#9. Noodle (the aforementioned gray cat) with fancy lighting behind him #photo diary

i really dont like using my blog to vent or complain cause idk thats not what social media is about to me its just a space to be silly about the things i like. that being said. im just gonna do a mini vent in the tags abt smth that isnt even half as serious as im making it sound

#Listen. i found live action Zoro jarringly serious and edgy at times. Very juvenile. But its very telling to me that the ppl complaining-#-the loudest abt his characterization and scenes with luffy are the same zosan shippers constantly putting him down in their works #genuinely every other fic is filled to the brim with characters constantly talking down to him like a toddler and mocking him #and even telling Sanji shit like omg youre so brave for being in love with him it must be so difficult #and suddenly as a reader Im not rooting for the relationship im rooting for Zoro to get better friends #so like are you guys SURE opla zoro is this edgy oc or does it seem that way bc you flanderize him just as much in the opposite direction #taking his goofy scenes and exaggerating them to make him seem barely functional #when in the anime he IS competent and people trust him and find him very cool when he drops badass lines all of the sudden #sometimes he even actively tries to be cool and edgy. its not rare or unheard of. we were all there when he started posing in the wax #its the execution of these traits in the LA that seem juvenile and jarring and OOC but lets not pretend like the guy youd find-#-on ao3 is better written or accurate to animanga zoro at all. the criticism itself is valid but from some zosan guys it sounds silly #youll notice casual or non shipper fans tend to rlly like LA Zoro and thats because fanon can truly TRULY be a disease #i’ve had this opinion of fanon zoro for a while but just seeing him pitted against opla zoro really brought back my unhappiness with him #if i had to pick between the two of them…

No but for real do you think Jean blamed Kevin for leaving him at the Nest?

(being held at gunpoint) ok ok ok ok ill answer officer please

i dont think jean necessarily blames kevin for anything thats happened in the nest, but he's still just a person after all. in such a harsh environment and suddenly alone after hanging so much of his sanity on kevin and their friendship, of course jean resents him for leaving; he doesn't have the time nor the space to process the feeling of loss in any other meaningful way.

but! i think after he is no longer in such peril and can think clearly, jean learns to be angry at the world again. the realization that the anger towards the nest riko beat out of him was actually Rightful and Just like the sword of an angel will also bring the logical explanation that kevin was in no more control than he himself was, and that ultimately it was not his fault. i believe the pain of abandonment for jean comes from a much deeper place though, and that will be something that creates a rift between them even if jean doesn't blame kevin anymore; kevin, because he is too afraid of jean hating him to actually allow them to interact again, and jean, because kevin's avoidance of him makes him angry when he was prepared to absolve kevin of guilt in the first place

#this is such an obvious answer to me i think but like. Obviously in the haze of violence and adrenaline of the nest jean could only resent #he wasnt actually thinking on it in any other way than this person i love has left me and i am once again alone with a monster #and he is not to be blamed for this at all. id also be really angry #i just dont think this anger at kevin would last is all #because objectively its not kevins fault. and jean knows its not kevins fault. and wanting it to be wont make it so #cue the worlds worst breakdown seen to man #also i think kevin really would be soooo terrified of seeing jean again post canon #because hes so scared of jean hating him. and it might seem to other people that #hes scared of jeans anger because he thinks jean could hurt him. but its very pointedly not that #hes scared of jeans anger because he hates to see jean upset and he dreads to be the reason behind it #of course. the man who newly discovered that he is allowed to be angry at his conditions doesnt know that #but oh well you know theyll get through it. if it takes them years #theyre grown men after all #asks #kevjean #+1 dollar in the jean moreau as luo binghe jar but its the same thing as #how svsss binghe felt after the endless abyss when he saw sqq again kiking with other people #just this sense of explosive resentful jealousy

My dad and I did a Star Wars marathon recently. We used to watch the SW movies a lot when I was a kid, so this was a fun experience to go through them again together. (just episodes 1-6) And gosh, it's still a fun series. Is it the best thing ever? Nah, but that wasn't the point. It was silly and/or cheesy at times, there were some eye rolls, there were some odd choices, but there were many more instances of chuckles, laughs, side comments, and complimenting aspects of the story or cinematography or costume design or set design (especially set design. i love the sense of scale and magnitude achieved in many of the shots!!!).

My dad likes to preempt dialogue that he remembers, so it's fun to see him being smug when he gets the line right a second before the character says it. Usually, I hate this, but Star Wars is one of the few things it's actually alright and fun to do it to. (Also, it's fun for me to shake my head at him when he gets a line wrong only to have the character say the proper thing immediately afterwards hehe.)

I'm gonna watch the 2003 Clone Wars series soon, since we skipped that during the marathon. Still my favorite Star Wars movie/show, in large part to its portrayal of Grievous <3

#rambling #jar jar is funny actually. he's silly and annoying and we like saying his lines at each other #sometimes i listen to video essays doing commentaries/critiques on star wars stuff and some of those people sound like they'd be-#miserable to have in the room when watching these movies. yeah i see the weird plot beats and awkward cgi additions too-#sorry you don't seem able to enjoy the movie in spite of its flaws -shrug-#but like. just to be candid. i am very biased towards loving these six movies. you don't have to love them but i do and i am happy that-#i didn't lose that ability even after hearing and thinking about the critiques and complaints others have made about them #sw

#sugio #osugi #sugimoto saichi #ogata hyakunosuke #golden kamuy #UWAHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #ok #i posted on my other socials so now ill ramble in the tags bc its a little less embarrassing to post on tumblr than it is anywhere else #but these are just the results of waiting a week #thinking endlessly about sugio and then doodling my ass off the moment the weekend came #i cant really verbalize how i think of them. in a modern au sense they're ofc much better off and ill talk about that in the future maybe!!#but canon compliant wise................ :melting-emoji:#i am a multishipper so in another universe sugimoto is much more happier with perhaps. someone superior. someone better than ogata but #unfortunately i rotate sugio in my brain the most often and while i picture sugimoto be both regretful and disdainful of his feelings #i do think he accepted his feelings early on once he recognized it #and well. sugimoto is nice. hes really nice. hes sweet and silly and has a knack for romance even if he never really pursued it himself #but he has a track record for ppl that he has loved. and i think those people shape him into his kindness.#toraji... umeko.... and now the person he's closest to is asirpa who is just. eugh. ill cry if i get into their familial/platonic bond.#But u see what i mean. ogata is like a trapezoid box trying to fit in with circles. and that wouldv jarred sugimoto soooo much and consideri #ng the kind of personality that ogata elicits from sugimoto during their interactions . he's Just immediately like Why. Whyyyyyy HIMMMMMMM #but i think he gets around it. a real internal struggle.#meanwhile ogata -- the absolute legend of denial and repression - denies it vehemently. does not See it. and thinks there must be something #wrong with sugimoto -- which is smth he takes comfort in #but he'd never return those feelings -- only the passive affection that could come along with it bc physical affection =/= internal emotions #and i don't find ogata to recognize it -- only catch glimpses of it through odd feelings of warmth -- dreams -- instinctively following #or looking at sugimoto pre-abashiri. its small things and well. it'll whiplash him in the end.#bc love has been so absent in ogata's life. if familial/platonic love can't reach him #then romantic love could never either. and that makes me shake his shoulders and weep.#ive written too Much in these tags. AND THis is Not worded in the best way ANYWAY. but At the least i got to verbally wordvomit it out. it s #been just stewing in my brain bc i have no idea where else to put it down.

found a bunch of old voice memos and this is the first time i've listened to my own voice and thought yeah it makes so much sense that people have loved this person . woah

#personal #i was singing a song under another song (saw my wings with the bodies in the gutter). there is someone else and i cant #recognise their voice . i think maybe i was drunk and maybe so were they . i have no idea who they are but their voice is so pretty.#i ask them if theyre ok and they ask if im sure im okay with this. and then they say see you soon and theres the sound of the door.#theres the voice of someone else after this too. they say listening to chase atlantic feels like sex . i have no idea who this person is.#this file is full of strings rising and falling. reverb of a massive space. some symphony inside interrupted by another symphony.#i remember laying on the floor of the orchestra hall to listen and to hide. i remember laying my hand on the floor and thinking i could #recognise this piece just by the way the ground vibrates.#i've been thinking a lot about mereology. sorry for not talking about nihilism the past week - everyone around me has been falling apart.#this month i have watched others be stricken by grief. the other side of the equation. one day i will create a poem about the way holes are #one whole part. the way disconnects are connected to the fabric of absence. (i saw your guts without the skin attached)#i could hear how in love i was when i asked the unknown voice if they would like some water. i blew out the candles and one stayed lit.#you don't need to tell me. forever and ever. strictly fall for academics and people with a passion. asked my mathematician about manifolds #and he asked me about his hair. i will wake up tomorrow if only it is to spend half an hour making tea. the concept of going to my country #is an oncoming train with a minute's delay. i told them i want to be their friend and they told me theyd like to meet up soon #and test how deep they can bite like good friends do. do you feel ashamed of my degree? do you feel ashamed of #your dry lips? skull fast-tracked to the floor. i have a jar of hand-picked dried damask roses for tea. ill tell you about k-theory until #you shut me up.

you can see the foundation on every single actor's face in this show. not only is it promoting unrealistic beauty standards etc. but at a certain point everyone would just look better if they weren't caked in makeup

#more realistic too #it's jarring to see kmy wake up with a full face of flawless makeup #it's just out of character for a lot of these people too #I watching cql in low enough quality that I bever noticed the foundation tho im sure it was there #at least they roughed up jc when he had his gc torn out and they let wwx's lip gloss wash away in those rain scenes #but the fact that it became so obvious meant that he was wearing it in literally every other scene including the ones where he was tortured #well I do admire such a commitment #ha. even tho they never showed it explicitly like they did in the book cql wwx still likes makeup. love that #and since it was thing since before the show started you kind of assume he was doing it since he was a young teenager #like it's as natural a background for him as his bisexuality. that's how I like to think of it #anyway this show's MO is to be as over the top and dramatic as possible which I get but the foundation thing #is seriously distracting me #iontbo lb

Was feeling emotionally tumultuous last night but managed to fix myself with a jar of pickled herring and Portrait of a Lady on Fire (squeezed out some good tears)!

#Tub of ice-cream is OUT! Jar of pickled fish is IN!#Rollmops were my favourite food as a child... I used to slorp them up with the skin on like an otter #Also this film was very good #Initially I didn't GET why they couldn't see each other again if they're based in the same city #But I guess they just didn't want to #Because of the whole Orpheus thing I guess...#I get it but I don't GET IT #Treasuring memories is important but so is cherishing the people you love and being there for them...#Anyway I have a lot of complicated feelings XD #And I want Heloise to be my wife #She is very cool and sexy #Nothing complicated about that

The cruel dichotomy of gaining weight because of birth control, but the reason I'm on birth control isn't for contraceptive reasons but like,, for my HEALTH. So like.,,, I don't want to go off it to loose the weight it made me gain, because THEN I would be subjecting myself to terrible pain and I don't want that and More Rant In Tags

#will delete probably #tw body image #tw weight #but likeeeeeee it's such a catch 22 #like in the long run being in this birth control is a good treatment for my endometriosis #and really the ONLY negative side effect is weight gain and I know it can be a lot worse for other people #but at the saaaame tiiiime i feel really really REALLY shitty about myself and I'm sort of starting to spiral abt it a little bit #like last year this time I weighed the least I ever had in my adult life #and it was because I'd just gotten into fitness and working out and stuff. like i was feeling really positive abt my body because I was #seeing the direct effects of the work that is put into it #and now a year later I weight probably the most I have in my adult life and I have barely altered my routine/what I eat at all #and it's really honestly so jarring and infuriating #and I feel like it's bringing myself into a really unhealthy mindset and ruining my relationship with this body that i took so much time to #learn how to love #personal shite

DCxDP fanfic idea: Big Fish in Gotham Pond

Based off of @saphushia art found here. . I just loved the idea of Tucker not knowing his skill level because he grew up in the boonies

Tucker gets scouted by Wayne Enterprises after he fixes a kid's computer game while in Gotham visiting Danny.

See, Tucker always known he is passable at tech- one has to be when a technology theme ghost is consistently harassing one's best friend- but to be good at something in a small town like Amity Park didn't mean much .

It's a big fish in a small pound sort of deal. That's why he's never put much thought into it. If Tucker were ever to rank himself in terms of school grades, he would say his computer skills were about a C-.

B+ if it was just coding.

His parents also don't think much of his obsession with his PDA or phones. They thought he waste too many hours on them like the rest of his generation.

It didn't matter that Tucker's technology was about five or more years behind his classmates.

The Foley were hard-working people who barely scraped enough for bills. They were never below the property line, but they danced on it often enough that Tucker knew never to ask for unnecessary purchases.

For as long as he could remember, his parents have always worked long and hard hours. He never blamed them for missing so much of his childhood, in fact he was grateful that they worked so hard to keep the roof over his head, but he did miss them.

That's why Danny's house became a haven for him. He was always at the Fenton's place because the loud, wacky family was much better company than the home silence.

Tucker knew that his family's financial situation didn't change how Danny or Sam viewed him. They had his back through tick and thin just as he did for them, but as they got closer to graduation the difference between them became jarring.

Sam had easy picking of what she wanted to do and where she wanted to go. Her parents were so overjoyed that she wanted to go to a university that they didn't even argue about her wishing to major in botanical biochemistry.

She had started house hunting in Star City midway through senior year. Her parents would gift it to her as a graduation present. Sam would live there for the next eight years to finish her degree.

Danny's parents, while somewhat eccentric, were also certified geniuses. Between the two of them, they had five PHDs and were often freelancing for companies when not doing ghost research. They too could send their two kids to college States away with housing not being a issue.

Jazz went to Metropolis to study Physiology. She lived in a small apartment but was doing well off her scholarships and parent's funding. Last he heard, she had a part-time job at the Daily Planet as a research assistant to gain some independence.

Danny wanted to go to Gotham for their engineering program. He, too, had an apartment of his own, with scholarships and equal funding from his parents. He also worked at Wayne Enterprises, but he was a receptionist. He hoped that once he graduated, he could apply for their engineering program

Not Tucker. His family could only help him get into Community College near Amity. He also couldn't afford to move out so he stayed with them, picking up a part time job to help out when he could.

Tucker is a first-generation college student so even though it wasn't much, he loved to see how his parents glowed when telling others their boy was futhering his education. He wanted to do something that paid well- and after years of patching up Danny- he figured nursing would do the trick.

Tucker would do all his basics in the community College, take a break to save up some money and then move on to the bigger schools.

The day of the graduation felt bittersweet. Team Phantom was finally adults, finally starting out in the real world, but while Danny and Sam moved on to bigger and better things, Tucker knew he would be left behind in little no-where Amity Park.

He never brought it up, but he felt a small dosage of envy the last day of summer before his friends finished packing and left.

Despite both being gone, Tucker had little to no social life even though they called, texted, and emailed often. His days blurred between class, work, and home. Even then, classes were long and tedious, work often ending with one or more customers screaming in his face to try and get free food.

His parents quickly started to nag that he should find a wife as they had married young. They couldn't figure out why he didn't want the same, even though he had no social life again.

Life became dull.

Tucker's only sparks of joy were playing online with Danny and Sam - when they found the time to log in or re-coding his old tech to try and salvage it whenever it broke down.

Soon, it became apparent that Tucker was slowly lacking motivation when he started skipping classes to sleep in and started feeling anxious when he needed to clock in for shifts.

It leads to him barely getting out of bed.

He felt horrible about it, thinking his parents sacrificed so much for him only to have him throw away the opportunities they gave him, and the cycle of not being able to get out of bed would start all over again.

It was Danny who caught on, and all but begged Tucker to come to Gotham for a weekend. He even sent money over for the plane ticket.

Tucker couldn't have gotten on that plane fast enough. He arrived early on Friday since the tickets were cheaper- and Uber over to WE headquarters to pick up Danny's keys as they agreed.

That way, Tucker could sleep and rest in the apartment while Danny worked.

Danny would finish his shift and have the weekend plus Monday and Tuesday off to spend with Tucker. When he arrived, Danny was helping a school check in for a field trip, so Tucker sat down to wait.

Next to him, a kid was growling at his laptop, frankly typing and moving his fingers over the computer's touch mouse. Tucker accidentally glimpsed his screen when the kid started swearing in a different language.

It looked like a shooting game but his lag was bad. By the time the boy pressed the buttons to have his little drone move the other flying things he was chasing were flipping though the air and out of his shooting rage.

It sucked when that happened, and since he was using WE free wifi for guests, it was probably the game. The graphics were badass, though. Seemed almost real.

"Hey try updating the system" He tells the kid after seeing the boy once again lag so bad he missed his shot.

Green eyes swing to him drenched in rage. Which yeah, Tucker knows how frustrating that could be.

"Did I ask for your help!?" The boy snaps, his words lined with an upper-class accent. Made sense since he was wearing a Gotham Academy uniform like the rest of the large school group. "Why are you even looking this way, peasant?"

"No, sorry. I just noticed the lag." Tucker raised his hand, slightly amused at the peasant insult. "I thought I could fix it for you."

The boy's face spams, "You believe you have the ability?"

"Ugh sure? I can try?"

"Here. Be quick. The fate of this city's air defenses depend on it" the boy turns his lap top to him and Tucker blinks.

Okay. So fix the game. He can do that.

And he does, quickly opening the code, analyzing the control and commands , he gets it running properly in less then twenty minutes. The boy seems utterly shock but he quickly takes control of the game and shoots down all the escaping ninjas from the sky.

"Thank you." The boy says with no more tense in his shoulders. Then he closes his laptop and dissappears with the crowd of students.

Tucker thought the kid was a cute.

Danny hands him the keys not long after and he leaves.

Never was he aware of the Boy being Damian Wayne and that the game was not a game but a actual defensive drone system that was fighting off the League of Assassins.

He only finds out how important those two facts are when Danny gets a call from Tim Drake asking if he could pass along Tucker's information because the CEO wanted him on staff as soon as possible..

Both nineteen-year-olds lost their minds after getting the call, screaming at each other in ghost shrieks of glee. They called Sam to let her know- and have her lawyers look over the contact Tim Drake sent just to make sure it wasn't a big-time company trying to screw him over.

He went to an interview three days later. He faced Tim Drake, the current seventeen-year-old CEO, Leo Noir, the current head of HR, and Jessica War, the current head of computer services. They asked him many questions about himself- some of which he felt he had answered terribly- then had him take a computer test.

Tucker thought it was busy work, so he quickly breezed through it. He fixed the problem in many of the coding for various programs, adding his flare to the final product, and after thanking them for their time, went out into the lobby.

He hadn't even reached the door before Jesssica ran after him, offering him the job. Apparently, the first two problems they had him do was the busy work. Tucker had thought they were the ones to let him get comfortable with the coding program.

Like a tutorial in video games.

The other seven were actual issues; many of their latest cellphone products failed. Tucker had solved them in an hour, which had taken the actual team of coders about a month.

"Nitey one dollar and thirty-five cents an hour," Tim tells him tapping the hiring contact. "It would be eighty hours every paycheck. You can work here or at home. Full Benefits. What do you say?"

Tucker's jaw drops. "When do I start!?"

He calls his parents to tell them he will be staying in Gotham with Danny. He tries to explain what had happened but it was all so fast that he can only babble about certain parts.

They tell him not to worry about explaining because they understand how much this means to him.

His parents help pack everything for him and when he flies back for it they, offer him hugs and support. Tucker is so glad they aren't mad.

"I sort of knew it was coming," His dad laughs. "You and that Fenton boy have always been inseparable."

"I did the same thing, you know," His mom says, wiping tears from her eyes but smiling all the same. "I moved with your father states away with little to no plan when I turned twenty too. Drove your grandfather mad."

He loves them both so much. He promises to send money- disregarding their denials- and flies back to Gotham, where Danny has opened his apartment until he gets enough for his own place.

He plans on renting a house with three bedrooms, one for him, one for his office, and another for Danny, as soon as he can. He wants to pay his friend back for everything he did and Danny deserves a bigger living space.

And for once, he'll not have to worry about money!

For once, life is looking up!

(What Tucker is unaware of, is that his parents think he moved to the big city to be with his childhood best friend turned recent lover. They don't know that the money he is sending home is from his own payroll and not Danny's. They think he's a stay-at-home husband.

Tucker is also unaware that the Bats are closely watching him in case he goes rogue. They have been slowly "causally" running into him in the city and breaking into his place to check for supervillain activity.)
